Bcx 250 New Paltz, New York 12561 Telephone: 914157-2117 41, 3 ....yr t - de CHOICE development began in '1979as a result of a study indicating that, whereas migrant chiqdren and middle class youthhad similar career aspirations in the early grades,the,career information'', . self avarenoss and decisionmaking skills available to migrant children in the later primaiyschool years were severely limited. Although tht development and overall design of thecurriculum was done with migrant youth in mini,use of the curriculum has been by migrant and non-migrant youth. Fundin for the development and production of the materials hascome flikm a variety of sources including CETA, the Career IncentiveAct, and Migrant Section 143. There would appear to bean over it need for the type of information CHOICE provideson the poet of both migrant and non- migrant youth. Therefore atpresent the intended audience would be all of,our school age youth (including highschool dropou'ts). The CHOICE curriculum is built on the three strandsof career education:(1) self awareness,(2) job and. role information, and (3) decision-making/goal attaining and 'is designedon two levels. (The materials have been successfully used, however, inthe upper primary and lower secondary ina non-absolute fashion crossing over the indicated level boundaries.) The first level, Basic CHOICE, is for students-in grades K 'through 6. Each unit, 131-87,includes: (1) pre- post-test, (2) a consumable student, log, (3) a teacher log, and, (4) a set ofa minimum of 20 activity folders. 4 The pre- post-tests for 81-34 are in picture format for the student with an accompanying teacher administration guidewhich indicates the exact wording for each gdestion. The tests. for 35- 87 are in a written foritat withan accompanying teacher administration glade which indicates directions and the exact wording for each question should the teachet decideto read the questionb to the students. Answer keys for atl tests arp,available and included with the basic set pf CHOICE materials. The consumable student log and accompanying teacher log contain the Job and Role information for each unit. Each unit, -81-157, contains information from two of the U. Department of .Labor defined career clusters. Each lcg coverd at least five occupations of careers from each of the two clusters. The student log contains worksheets related to language arts sk111s. using career related information. Workei stories ifykr-414are found in the teacher logs anddesignedto be read....o the students. Worker stories\in 85-87 are contained in both the student and teacher logs. Tne teacher logs contain allthe student log pages in 'addition to the stories, for 131-134, and additional suggested activities and career related vocabulary, for35-87. All the teacher logs contain suggested answers to the student exercises, but it is emphasized that any logical studentanswer is to be acclpted. The activity folders on each level are di4ided into threesets, one for' each of the career education strands:(1) self .awareness, (2) job and role information, and (3) decision-making/goal attaining. Each set of folders contains activities, stories, poems, and game-type activities all designed tohelp the student learn abou't career education and himself or herself. The Advanced level-of CHOICE materials consists of three texts. Again the organizational anti developmental format was based on the three strands of career education and the 15 career clusters. The first of the three texts is OCCUPATIONAL RESOURCES. This is the job and role information text. It contains 60 selections, four from each of the 15 career clusters, written in story, cartoon, interview, fact sheet, and poetry format. Each selection contains information on the tasks, skills, training and tools necessary to the career or occupation as well as the reading and mathematical requirements for the job. Selection of the careers covered was based on two factors. One, both entry level and advanced training level jobs were chosen within each. cluster. Two, -actual practicants of the job or occupation were interviewed as to their tasks, skills, training and tools. After the aelections were written these same people were asked to review thestories for accuracy. OCCUPATIONAL RESOURCES has been rewritten on both the third and fifth grade reading levels as well as in the original high school reading level. The. information and technical vocaoulary lies been maintained in the third and fifth grade reading levels but other parts of the stories, cartoonsAd "nterviews have been adapted to make reading easier. The second test of the Advanced materials is CAREER NOTES.This volume contains the self awareness and derision- making /goal attaining information. It is designed to be used in individual sections depending on the need of the student. Again various formats halm been used, including poetry, zartoon, and game activities to provide interest for the stadents. The sections included in CAREER NOTES are described itthe Overview booklet. The third text of the Advanced materials is MISSION INFORMATION. MISSION INFORMATIOW is a manual designed to accompany work exploration and experience pr4.grams. There are three sections; they are designed to be used independently of .each other.The first is on interviewing a worker to obtain informationabout his/her job or career. The second is a .ashadowine guide to lead students through a worker shadow experience. The third sectionis a guide to a,workexperience program. Each section leads the

  • A Description of 19Th-Century American Gilded Picture Frames
    Figure 1. Plate 9 from Benjamin, A. (1827). The American Builder’s Companion. “A, cavetto, or hollow; B, cavetto and astragal; C, ovolo and fillet; D, ovolo and astragal; E, cymareversa, or ogee; F, cymareversa and bead; G, astragal; H, bead; I, cimarecta; K, L, and M, are scoties of different projections and curves; N, O, P, are quirk ogees.” 2006 WAG Postprints—Providence, Rhode Island A Description of 19th-century American Gilded Picture Frames and an Outline of Their Modern Use and Conservation Hugh Glover, Conservator of Furniture and Wood Objects, Williamstown Art Conservation Center ABSTRacT Picture frames are a functional component of most art collections and they are subject to wear and tear as they fulfill their housing function for paintings. Damage to picture frames can occur during exhibitions, storage, and travel, and is caused by handling, hanging processes, adverse environments, neglect, and irreversible restorations. Picture frames are maintained by a variety of preservation specialists, and despite their ubiq- uity they have not become the domain of any one conservation discipline, and there is scant literature devoted to their preservation interests. This paper will focus on the analysis of 19th century American gilded picture frames, as well as preventive care, modern modifications, and restoration/conservation treatments. The talk is derived from the cumulative experience in treating frames at the Williamstown Art Conserva- tion Laboratory (WACC). The paper will address frame nomenclature and the development of popular styles and con- structions of the 19th century. It will outline ornament forms and materials, and give an overview of period gilding techniques.

  • MAY the (Mentoring) FORCE BE with YOU Introduction
    MAY THE (Mentoring) FORCE BE WITH YOU by Jeff Clunie The purpose of this article is to share with Guild members my recent experience of going through a woodworking mentoring program with another more knowledgeable and experienced member of the Guild who was willing to share his knowledge with others. As a result of going through this mentoring experience, my woodworking skills were significantly enhanced, although they were relatively minimal to begin with, and my appreciation for what is entailed to make a good piece of furniture has increased. Introduction In January 2015, Don Michael and Jim Russell told me that they planned on building a “Portsmouth Table” and asked if I wanted to participate in the effort. I looked at the pictures and drawings they had of a Portsmouth Table and I was not favorably impressed with what I saw as it appeared rather ostentatious. The table has a top which is approximately 17 inches square, it is 29 inches tall, has a single drawer, and one shelf. It is the embellishments, however, that are eye popping. This table includes all of the following: stringing; bookmatch veneer top and shelf; side banding around the sides of the top ; scallop skirts around the sides of the shelf; sawtooth banding around the base of the scallop skirts; veneer inlays on the tops of the legs; stringing around the veneer inlays on the legs; cross banding veneer on the front of the drawer; an elliptical veneer inlay on the front of the drawer; cock beading around the edges of the drawer; turned legs that included horizontal beading and tapered feet; and vertical reeding on the bottom half of the leg.

In this booklet we will be illustrating thirty simple examples of its application. The router is the most suitable tool to use for many applications simply because it will get the job done quicker and will give a far superior INTR finish than when using other power tools. Sometimes, applications just simply cannot be done any other way. ODUCTION We have divided this booklet into five sections.
